Living on the edge, the crew of the Lyra expects surprises. But they’re not prepared for the one they find when the ship picks up two new members and a salvage job on a third-rate space station.

As the ship’s engineer and all-around fixer, Tink is used to a life of odd jobs and even odder crewmates. Her mission is to keep the ship running smoothly. It’d be a lot easier if Grim, the ship’s cat, stayed out of her engine room.

Alek Wa is on the run, hiding amongst the motley crew of Lyra. But that’s not the only reason he’s onboard. His minders gave him a mission — if only they told him what it was.

Captain Rebeka Mino just wants to retire to her room with a whiskey and a steamy novel. Too bad the ship keeps getting shot at.

And when they arrive at the coordinates for the salvage job, they’re confronted by a dead ship in the deep black.

When Emelynn Taylor finds a forbidden book in her attic, she unlocks explosive secrets that connect her to a past she never imagined. A connection that thrusts her into the heart of a struggle between two powerful factions: one ancient, one evil. And they both want a piece of her.

From the ashes of a dying world, a god will rise.

As an out of shape nerd, Gabriel Rivera had more pressing issues than outlandish things like godhood: Evacuating the city, joining the military, and protecting his family. Simple right?

Everything changed when the PAC invaded.

When the grim fate of his world is revealed, Gabriel joins the Reclaimer Project to save his family. A lowly F ranker, he’s weaker than even the worst recruits. Good thing he’s too stubborn for his own good.

Through blood and sweat Gabriel aims to grow stronger and rise above the rest.

Deadly traps lurk around every corner, mysterious factions move in the shadows, and dormant powers within him manifest in wild and dangerous ways.

Battered, bruised, and beaten, Gabriel refuses to stay down. For only in the fires of The Crucible are legends forged.
